CAUGHT BETWEEN HONOUR AND REVENGE, HOW FAR WILL ONE MAN GO??
Obviously, you will not like this movie if you did not like 1988's Bloodsport (though there ARE some cases where the sequel is better than the original). This review is thus addressed to those who liked Bloodsport and are wondering whether they should bother to watch Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite. My answer would be yes. br / br /Sure, Jean-Claude Van Damme isn't here (Donald Gibb serves as the link between the two movies), but Daniel Bernhardt, as petty thief Alex Cardo who discovers the meaning of honor, makes for a likable, charismatic lead, who also bears somewhat of a resemblance with Jean-Claude. br / br /Also interesting is the narration, told in flash-back by Alex Cardo's trainer, Master Sun (played by James Hong) to a throng of young disciples. In these moments in particular, Bloodsport II shows that it is completely aware of what kind of movie it is, that it does not aspire to be anything more, and even pokes fun at itself (see the excellent ending, for example). br / br /In short, Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite is not as awesome as it's predecessor, but it does what it aspires to do: it gets the job done. The cinematography isn't as good here as the first time, making the fights less impressive, but they're good enough. The story and the fact that the movie changes location (from Hong Kong to Thailand), contribute to not make it a rehash of the original. The actors, from Daniel Bernhardt to Donald Gibb, passing by James Hong and Pat Morita, are just right. And just like in the first one, you may know exactly how it's going to end, but it's still a joy to watch.

spectacular martial arts action
bloodsport 2 is the sequel to bloodsport which starred van damme. This time it stars actor daniel bernhardt who plays alex a theif who is imprisoned for stealing an ancient sword while in prison alex is taught the deadliest martial art known as the iron hand which alex then puts to use in a fighting competion. With spectacular martial arts action this is a good action film

Not a bad sequel
Overall, this is a good film with some excellent action but everything about the film seems to be rushed no sooner as he's gone in prison he's fighting in the kumite. Not bad though, better than the other sequels to Van Damme films, and will keep you entertained if you are bored

Sequel left in shade by original.
The first thing you notice about this film is that very few people know about it. The first Bloodsport was a Van Damme classic with Jean Claude doing what he does best-fighting not acting. In this second installment we see Daniel Bernhardt taking over the main character, a master thief who is caught stealing a sword from a businessman he eventually comes face to face with. The general idea of the first is mirrored in the second with Bernhardt, after a spell in a vicious Thai prison, coming out and training up before fighting in the Kumite. This time there is no Chon Lee(Bolo Yeung) and new innovations include a women fighter who gets in a romance with Randy from the first movie. The films main saving grace is the new trick Alex(Bernhardt) learns. Called the Iron Hand it is a superpunch that can shatter things without needing to touch them, almost like something from Streetfighter. The final fight which is typically brutal and swings this way and that with plenty of twists before it comes out in the usual way. The film is a decent martial arts one but never lives up to the heights of its predecessor. Great for an all night moviefest though-little effort required at all.
